The other shoes thread

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

YES! (you know me well) Sorry for the late reply, was getting over my recent business trip/ spending time with my wife and kid!
They look DOPE! The tongue/ collar combo reminds me of onitsuka ULT-racers (another shoe I love) and I always back synthetic construction over suede. You know what else I'm feeling at the moment? These:

*Gel Lite V pic*

At this point in time though I have more shoes than my wife so I really need to start wearing (out) some of my current collection.
So glad this thread is back up and running

Gel Light V are my favourite Asics for sure. I saw that exact colorway at the mall. The sock like tongue looks insanely confortable! They look killer on feet and there's so many good colorways... I wish i had the money to buy a pair!

Now i'm really feeling the Reebok Pump Fury, the OG ones, not the lite ones (i like those too). Damn, they look so crazy! But probably would look like shit on my feet and are expensive as fuck but damn i love the 90's crazyness...

Gel Lyte III's and V's are so good. I'm just really into runner silhouettes now. Maybe I should start running again.

Skatan, I have the insta pump fury OG collab that they did with Major here in DC, it's themed after airplane rescue masks. The shoes are surprisingly comfy, and fucking weird looking enough that I always get some compliments when I wear them. They're honestly very comfortable, too.

Here's a pic:

Damn InternetDaddy! That's an interesting collab. I not really a fan of the colorway but the idea/concept is fucking killer.

I only have seen 1 pair of these shoes in my life and it was in some ugly full bright orange... They looked like an orange but it was nice to see the design so close and they really look comfy and quality. They are for sure eye-catching!

Me and my friend at some Metal Fest last month! I am the Celtic shirt guy.

No body who looks like the guy in the Celtic shirt has any room to call anybody a loser.

You just got into a full Loser Megazord Mode. Haha

I personally don't get to this type of shoe but after perusing the thread briefly I came to the conclusion you fellas will like this picture.

What's wrong with that shoe? If I was going to sell drugs and shake down the johns that were too rough with my tricks, that's the shoe I would wear.

[Rusty_Berrings]

They cost 500 dollars and I don't like Battlestar Galactica.

[PARANOID]

"People laughed at me when I was the first man in America to pay $500 for Battlestar Galactica themed shoes, but now they all pay at least a thousand dollars for shoes related to shows that weren't even half as good"

Like i said before basketball shoes are not really my thing... These Lebrons XI elite are totally not my thing, but Will Easley would love them!

[PAWL]

lebrons are the ugliest basketball shoes out. they're probably comfy though

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I dont think they are that ugly, just a little too futuristic looking... At least they take something new to the table. But i think they reached the top with his XI model, which were really radical looking with all that crazy panelling.
The last ones, XII, look pretty mellow. The swoosh on the side looks like shit, the placement is bad IMO.

Kobe's are other that i think that the current model isnt as good as the past one... XI's, either lows or highs look way better than the X's.
X's are such a boring model, the flyknit ones are a little better tho.

Actually i'm liking more of the aesthetics of the last adidas models. D Lillard's look dope, J Wall's arent that bad and the new D Rose 6 pics i've seen look like it will be a great shoe!

lol all those d rose 6 are gonna end up in ross after this whole rape allegation thing. I think my problem with the Lebron's the the overly angular design. and yeah the kobe x's are kinda just phoning it in. the 8's were the climax, nines were ok.

[sleepypancakes]

I dig em

Didnt heard about that D Rose rape thing but you might be right, his name is gonna be affected.
The 8 were good yeah, mambacurial's were sick! But i like 9's the most, the flyknit does it for me.
But i barrely know shit about basketball shoes, i'll probably never own some. Haha

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I didnt like those at first but they grew on me. I saw them in person and they are kinda sick. I still like the OG's the most but they look like it will be next big thing over here so i'm ready to be oversaturated of huarache's. :/

Also saw this new "huarache BR", white is ok but i saw some horrid volt joints...

[InternetDaddy]

I want those all black Huarache NMs to release in America already, damn.

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

I've seen them in stores here in Portugal, i think it is the first time in history we get something first than the US! haha

Just saw this beauties on my Instagram feed, Huarache Utility. They look sick!

The Huarache Utility definitely looks sick, I just saw a post about them too! The all black ones are super nice. Europe actually gets a lot of really good runners before the US, or just exclusively altogether. Huarache NMs have been out in EU for a while, but are just starting to pop up here. I don't think the Huarache lights have been available here at all, but I know they are out over there in several colorways. Also the (admittedly weird and kind of ugly IMO) cork and velvet infrared AM90s dropped in europe way before they showed up on US shelves, i remember on the sneakers subreddit some guy in poland was buying pairs and shipping them to americans.

I was at the Nike Outlet past week and it was full of Huarache lites haha... I've seen Corks AM90's everywere, and the janoskies are poping out too, i almost puke when i see them (Out of curiosity, Portugal is actually the worlds major producer of cork).
I know EU gets lots of good stuff first, brands do lots of goods collabs with shops over here but Portugal doesnt get any of that stuff since we dont have any big shops in the country, just major releases are released here basically. We need to order special releases from the outside.

This new Saucony's are killing me...

[Still Tippin]

im wit dese

[alonelikeastone]

I wear New Balance 993's and every version before it for the last 12 years. I put memory foam insoles in them, high quality ones, not dr scholls.
They are made in america and are not cheap here is Canada but they last a very long time and come in grey. Besides the grey they are too sporty for me, but I absolutely can not get through a work day without them.
In the winter I wear docs with the same memory insoles from the NB's.
If i could give any young skaters advice it would be only wear skate shoes when skating and get good shoes when you are not.
